Always loved the Lightening. This shows why it was special, even to a kid.

And somewhat annoyingly the RAF Regiment tracked and locked onto a Stealth Fighter with their Rapier Missile system in its early days, they didn't see the funny side. Shame

Love the Lightning. It was the first Airfix model I ever made
